2,304 Pointsif statement
hi guys, i cant seem to figure this out even though i know its pretty straight forward.
Add an if statement that checks to see if firstExample is equal to secondExample. If it is, print out "first is equal to second".
any help would be appreciated.
thanks Jordan
// I have imported a java.io.Console for you, it is named console.
String firstExample = "hello";
String secondExample = "hello";
String thirdExample = "HELLO";
if (firstExample secondExample); {
console.printf("first is equal to second");
}

You should use equals() method from the String class.
Compares this string to the specified object. The result is true if and only if the argument is not null and is a String object that represents the same sequence of characters as this object.
